WELCOME TO OUR LIBRARY 

This is a collection of sources that we have found and accessed during research on the topic of glyptics or ENGRAVED GEMS.  They are presented here in order to facilitate easy, efficient access to any user. Each entry includes, usually, a link to an online source, a brief description of the source, and a comment or two about why it is helpful.  Occasionally, there will be an example or tip of how to best access and utilize the information.

The comments and usage tips are both our own and from other sources as noted. Most academic articles have great reference sections or bibliographies; these may be referred to but will not be repeated.

While it is hoped that the information is useful to the user, it is by no means comprehensive or in-depth — it’s only documentation of our experiences while chasing EG topics down the rabbit holes of the internet.  Comments or additional information/corrections are invited and encouraged (use “Comments” sections at the end of each page) in order to provide a more valuable resource to the user.  ENJOY.
